Porsche Leipzig. More emotions per hour

The Porsche assembly plant in Leipzig incorporates the latest advances in car manufacturing to meet customers’ needs and expectations, where modern modular manufacturing allows flexible demand-orientated vehicle production. In close collaboration with well-established service providers, the production process can be dynamically adapted at any time to meet current requirements. Moreover, modular production improves quality as well as reducing costs.

To date, Porsche has invested approximately EUR 770 million in the Leipzig site. An additional EUR 500 million is planned for investment to support production of the Panamera. Since December 2002, the Cayenne has been built in Leipzig, and between 2003 and 2006, the small series of the now legendary super sports car, the Carrera GT was produced here. By May 2006, three of these super sports cars were being hand assembled each day. Panamera, the fourth series outdoor four-seater sports coupé has been built at the Leipzig plant since 2009.

In March 2011 Porsche made the decision to build the Macan, the fifth Porsche model line, in Leipzig. For the production of the Macan, Porsche built a new factory unit with body shop and paint shop which became operational in February 2014.

The tour of the Porsche plant will provide Summit participants with an exclusive look behind the scenes of seeing first-hand how these extraordinary vehicles take shape.
